For those about to Friday, we salute you!

I must stop reading this thread. The temptation to make / paint a kit is almost too great to withstand when JD posts piccies. Its been years since I did any models and there are just so many good 'uns on the market to choose from.

Same here.. I got a ton of 'unopened' kits sitting on shelf in the cellar.. lol.. only thing saving me, I think is all my Acylic paints are probably dried up!

^Ouch yes, I had to junk a stack of acrylic paints (mainly GW jars) because they had 'gorn orf'. However, all my brushes are in good condition as I always tried to look after 'em, and decent brushes for acrylics can be quite expensive. Anyway, it would cost a fortune to buy new paints, so I got nil chance of kit building / painting again  :(

Can I ask what is the big advantage of pre ordering Rome 2?

You get three extra Greek factions to play.

Granted, they'll likely either patch them in a month later for everyone, or do something crappy like make it DLC available for extra money on release.  I wouldn't put it past them to do the latter.

Skyrim is calling me again too. Finished Dawnguard, but have not started Dragonborn...

Ok thanks. I always play Rome anyway but since I know I am going to buy it day 1, in suppose I might as well pre order

Strangely enough, I'm starting to feel the call as well. Spent part of yesterday afternoon updating all of my mods. Have to do some modding myself before I start my text play through as a nord shaman/barbarian.

Well - I'm still knackered from yesterday - so I'm going for Phantom Leader now...I LOVE that game and soooo want the deluxe version - but August is an expensive month (though it is Mrs Dredd's birthday this month...I think that would be a splendid gift!)

Thank you UCG - I love his reviews

Kushan do you have that new area mod? It was developed by one guy and is about 1/3 the size of Skyrim itself. The developer put it together to try and get a job in level design at Bethesda. The actual name escapes me but it is setting the internet all abuzz.

Falskaar I believe is the mod your referring too? Downloaded Saturday. Part of the reason I want to jump back in. The gaming press and fans alike seem to be loving it right now. Pretty good for a 19 year old kid. From what I understand he did all the coding work himself, got 30 voice actors/family/friends/etc to do voices and had someone do another 40 minutes of music.

Been watching Falskarr too. It's at nexus only not available from Steamworks as yet. I want to hear how it runs and how much new stuff is included but so far it almost sounds like a must-have. Steamworks does have individual Falskarr mods like player homes and such but not the whole mod as yet.

I completed all 5 chapters of Walking Dead.  Great casual game and great story.  The ending was touching but I did not shed a tear because big boys don't cry.  However the ending did leave me floored.

Falskaar's here... http//skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/37994//?     :D

[Gusington]

Thanks guys Falskaar's the one. Is it due to appear on Steamworks soon? I'll manually install if I have to but would prefer it from Steamworks.

chugging through my BNW game as Venice.  Been teaming with with the Shoshone to kick the shit out of the Romans, who dared to place new cities too close to me.

the World Congress really changes the dynamics of things - especially when you're a trade-based civilization and they vote to embargo city-states!

Every Friday thread degenerates into a Skyrim discussion!  Play a real RPG, you heathens! :P
